Thanks Sabrina for helping me with this, I think I will bypass this
section in that literature as my tests and so yours show that the router
ID has nothing to do with the session initiation,

Mohamed,
I didn't came across your same literature, and if I did I forgot,
but this is what I'm seeing in my box:
.4 .5
R4 -------------------- R5
AS400 AS500
R4#sh tcp bri
TCB Local Address Foreign Address (state)
03B64780 136.1.145.4.11177 136.1.145.5.179 ESTAB
R4#
The BGP session has been established by R4 to R5 BGP port.

R5 received the SYN and replied with a SYN ACK.
I have also seen exactly the opposite behavior.
I have never seen any RST or FIN message sent that would have made me
think of BGP trying to reset the connection because of a failed check on
the router id.

Hi Sabrina,
I got your point, but could we say that the peers may start by deciding
who has higher ID and then leave it initiate the session.
I have faced this concept on one of the popular CCIE preparation books.
Shows and debugs in the book where confirming this. However, my tests
showed that there is no relation,

Mohamed,
how a peer can know, before initiating the session, that he has a
router ID lower than the remote side and hence it has to wait for the
other side to start?

Hi All,
Regarding the BGP peering establishment, it is supposed that the peer
with higher ID would initiate the session by sending TCP Sync (client)
while the peer with lower ID will respond (server). I was testing this
and I discovered that it is independent of the bgp router id.
If R1 with ID 10.0.0.1 has a bgp peering with R2 of ID 10.0.0.2, when I
clear the peering while I am on R1, I notice that R1 initiates the
session and R2 responds (using "debug ip packet detail" while clearing
the session). If, however, I cleared the peering while I am on R2, I
notice that R2 initiates the session !!
Has somebody else encountered this ?
Regards
Mohamed ...
